PowerEdge C Reviews

I usually support and manage a virtual stack. My customers run business applications, VDI sessions, and various other things from it. The use case varies depending on customer needs, covering everything except the federal space.

The solution is all about compute. The solutions are easy to handle, priced correctly, reliable, and dependable. Cisco is similar but more complex to configure and usually more expensive. My team supports a lot of Dell, focusing on hybrid environments like Azure Stack, splitting workloads between high compute needs in databases, which are expensive in the cloud, and other workloads in the cloud.

PowerEdge is a server from Dell, and we use these servers primarily for our customers for installation, processing, and in the server class and data center.

PowerEdge serves as the server solution for installations and processing in our data center. It provides the necessary infrastructure for our operations.

We use the product to provide computing power for our virtual machines running on VMware. These servers are part of our local cloud infrastructure, where we host applications and manage workloads efficiently.

The platform's most valuable features are high performance and reliability. They have consistently met our performance needs and have been trouble-free regarding physical and application issues.

Before we deploy any solution for our customers we always keep in mind the requirements and select the features that are in line with VMware’s technology. For example we have chosen a Dell solution based on one customer specific needs and budget. This involves collaborating with Dell and VMware in order to get all the necessary licence. At the same time, we have also opted for the PowerEdge blade series which helps us in consolidating workloads and maximising output power. Our main use is to select solutions that fit the requirements of the customers while ensuring full support from Dell and maintaining confidentiality.

We have realised that instead of purchasing multiple servers with fewer cores, opting for higher series with more cores is a viable option that has been held to reduce the footprint in our data centre. This has also helped in generating green data centres and requires less cooling and maintenance.

For workloads, we use four to six TB of storage and two network configurations. We use it remotely. 

We only changed the make and model of the server. The use cases are the same for all purposes because we are a product-based company. We have our own product which we provide to the customer. That means a specific product for the specific business. So the use case is the same in all the cases.

The next release would be configured for the new server. For that, the service could be upgraded.

I use the solution 24/7 for my routine work for voice service.

The product has high performance and no downtime.

In our company, we run Python on top of PowerEdge C server. My company optimizes PowerEdge C to provide Python features or capabilities to our customers.

The most valuable feature of the solution is the hardware resiliency it offers. The product also offers iDRAC software that helps users manage PowerEdge C in a simpler manner.

We use the solution with VMware. We also use it with independent servers. Our servers run on it.

The product life is good compared to any other product. The performance depends on the configuration we buy. Every new version is better than the previous one.
